Lanka Hospitals has announced a groundbreaking initiative to provide affordable cardiac care to Government servants, retired Government servants, and Agrahara insurance members. This program aims to alleviate the financial burden of heart surgeries and angiograms amidst challenging economic times, making high-quality cardiac care accessible to those who serve and have served the nation.
Under this special offer, the cost of a heart surgery, typically Rs. 1,400,000, is now reduced to Rs. 1,100,000, providing a saving of Rs. 300,000. Angiograms are available at just Rs. 50,000, and for patients undergoing heart surgery at Lanka Hospitals, the hospital charges for the angiogram will be completely waived, reducing the cost to only Rs. 20,000. Additional benefits are extended exclusively to Agrahara members under this program.
Lanka Hospitals Group CEO Deepthi Lokuarachchi said: “Our latest offer on heart surgeries and angiograms underscores our commitment to easing the financial strain on public sector employees and retirees. We are dedicated to ensuring that essential medical services, like advanced cardiac care, are both affordable and accessible without compromising on quality. Through this initiative, we continue to honour the invaluable contributions of Sri Lanka’s Government workforce by combining compassionate care with state-of-the-art medical expertise.”
This initiative comes against the backdrop of an agreement with the National Insurance Trust Fund (NITF), which administers the Agrahara insurance scheme, further enhancing healthcare benefits for eligible patients.
Lanka Hospitals, renowned for its specialised medical teams and cutting-edge facilities, remains a leader in delivering world-class healthcare services. This initiative reflects its continued dedication to improving patient outcomes and supporting the health and well-being of Sri Lanka’s public sector workforce.
